Adding some new stuff as I type this including a new updates page so you won't have to look at my dumm skullsmasher skin anymore

Update 8/11/02

My birthday is coming quickly August 14th so send those presents to P.O. box 666 Hell CA, 666 yeah I live in hell. Anyway I have been playing around with Max5 pre-release and I've developed a taste for it. I suck at rendering but I started playing around with the renderer anyway. Max5 is pretty good the UVmapping ROCKS!!! and there is a major improvment in the renderer. My big beef with it tho is locks up sometimes while rendering. If you play around with rendering for a long time then for some odd reason my computer won't shutdown. The ink and pen feature rocks but it takes forever to render in Ink and Pen. Anyway I put up a few pics in the crappy 3d work section I'll put better one later on I suck at rendering now but am improving little by little as I keep playing with it.

Update Finally 5/5/2002

Damm it's been a while since I've updated this page I know alot of these links are outdated now I will try and fix that if time permits it will get done soon but eventually it shall be written and it shall be done. I did manage manage to fix my character studio tutorial it had some little mistakes here and there like skinning after adding the bones that was wrong but it's fixed so no more angry emails I hope.

Check it out I converted a Counter Strike model over to Quake3 just for fun credit goes to the guys at Counter Strike for making the model in the first place click here

A skinning tutorial for Max it's kind of hard to understand but if you've looked at other skinning tutorials it does give you an idea of what you need to do here

Check this link it has alot of neat little tutorials on how to learn the basics on 3d studio max but be ware some of the links on it are dead I guess cuz the page is pretty old.

Updated 5/16/2000.

Finally finished my tutorial check it out Here
